Hey,
I have never played any SOCOM games, and I was wondering whether or not the new one for PS3 is a good game for ONLINE play? I know the reviews were mediocre, but is it still a good online experience?
-Thanks

ON multiple occasions i have tried and played, it is absolutey DREADFUL to find a match that you can actually join. ONce you are in, things are playable, but its nothing special as third person tactical shooters have been done better.
THe GS review pretty much sums it up.

The game is great and I like it a lot, but it has problems.

Pretty much teh ebst shooter going untiul MAG arrives.
For me SOCOM is like a breathe of fresh air. I am so sick and tired of these cookie cutter, "realistic" shooters like CoD 4, 5 and Battlefield. SOCOM is alot of fun as long as you learn to forget everything you have learned playing FPS. SOCOM is very much a tactical shooter. Running and gunning gets you nothing but dead. I will say though as a newbie to SOCOM myself, the fan base as a whole isnt very tolerant to people not familiar with the whole SOCOM experience. Expect to get chewed out, mocked and kicked from games until you get the hang of things. If I were to give the average SOCOM player a grade on a 1-10 scale on the JERK-O-METER , they would get a 8. But its still alot of fun!kungfuchaosYeah the hardcore SOCOM player (which most of them are) will definitely get on you about every little thing. :lol:

no, its still borderline broken even after the patches. pick up graw2 instead. its a much better game and runs great. its community isn't as big as socoms but you'll never have any probs finding a game...I am interested in buying SOCOM: Confrontation to , this or next week , so hopefully they ironed out all the bugs . I heard from my mate , that has it , that its a great experience , and that there are no more server problems , lag or stuff like that .WhiteEagle91yeah, theres still plenty of problems actually...
I was never a fan of Socom but I am considering buying the game because it comes with a bluetooth headset.AnimeKillerProbably the best reason to get it at this point. But once patch 1.3 comes out, it should be worth every dollar.
socom is 40 bucks an attractive price tag along with an 60 dollar bundle including a headset which is by far the best bluetooth headset beating the jawbone and other highly priced expensive bluetooths. The headset is flawless.
As for socom 1.2 fixed most problems, when i play in a game usually theres an half a second lag spike, but rarly will is ruin the experience. Socom is a great game, its a long learning curve (learning maps, ect) but its so satisfing when you kill someone, especially when theres like 5 seconds left in a match and its just you and one mor enemy remaining, your team pretty much starts screaming in excitment about you. TBH socom is the most addictive shooter on the market, its how rb6v2 was meant to be. However socom offers deep tactical gameplay or a simple run and gun gameplay like cod4 if u play infinite respwawn unranked games (which also keeps a record). Customizing is really deep, you'll like it. While graphics arent anything sepecial, the lighting and smoothness makes it look "pretty" and nice. As for community, its great, theres really no jerks i ran into, EVERYONE (i mean like EVERYONE) uses a mic, usually the ps3 official mic. making it nice crisp and clear. People play statgically. For exampe my bud was in a gunfight, and was stalling an enemy, he just told me to come around the right and ill be behind him and kill em. People are cool like that and not kill W****s.
I was in the same boat has you a few weeks ago.And socom changed all that. It proved me wrong definietly deserving a 9/10 score

When I attempted to play GRAW2 online, I found there to be tons of lag. Way more than anything I've seen in Socom since 1.2.SOCOM is a great game... I still play it quite a bit... and this is coming from a guy who gets bored with a game after a couple of days.
Graphics are crisp, gun sounds are realistic, and people are actually at a standoff when in fire fights (they don't just rush up to people like COD4). Screw the critics.
